FAQs
Startup services – frequently asked questions
Is Startup India registration free?
Yes, the government does not charge any fee for DPIIT recognition. Our professional fee covers checking eligibility, preparing the innovation write-up, compiling documents and filing the application.
Do I need a Private Limited Company to get startup benefits?
DPIIT recognition is available to Private Limited Companies, LLPs and registered partnership firms. However, the 80-IAC tax holiday is only for companies and LLPs, and most investors prefer a Private Limited Company.
How much funding can I get under the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme?
Selected startups can receive up to ₹20 lakh as a grant for proof of concept, prototype development or product trials, and up to ₹50 lakh as convertible debentures or debt for market entry and commercialisation, through approved incubators.
Is angel tax still applicable to startups?
No. The angel tax provision that taxed share premium above fair value was abolished for all classes of investors from the 2024–25 financial year onwards. Valuation reports are still required for FEMA compliance and certain allotments under the Companies Act.
Can you help a startup that is not yet incorporated?
Yes. We start with the right structure and incorporation, then move to recognition, trademarks and funding. Our Complete Startup Package bundles the essentials at a lower price.
